1. When I was a little boy
I had but little wit;
tis a long time ago,
And I have no more yet;
Nor ever,
ever shall
Until that I die,
For the longer I live
The more fool am I.
2. When I was a little boy
My mammy kept me in,
But now I am a great boy
Im fit to serve the king;
I can hand a musket,
And I can kiss a pretty girl
at twelve oclock at night.
3. Christmas comes but once a year;
And when it comes, it brings good cheer,
a pocketful odd money, and a cellar of beer
And a good fat pit to last you all the year.
一年一次圣诞,
圣诞人人喜欢,
又有酒又有钱,
猪肉够吃一年。
4. Come, butter, come,
Peter stands at the gate
Waiting for a butter cake,
Come, butter, come.
黄油黄油快凝固,
黄油黄油快凝固;
彼得等着要进屋,
黄油甜饼好进肚。
黄油黄油快凝固。
5. Charley, Charley,
Stole the barley
Out of the bakers shop.
the baker came out
And gave him a clout,
Which made poor Charley hop.
6. Cock, cock, cock, cock,
Ive laid an egg,
Am I to go ba-are foot?
Hen, hen, hen, hen,
Ive been up and down,
To every shop in town,
And cannot find a shoe
To fit your foot,
If Id crow my hea-art out.
7. The cock crowns in the morn,
To tell us to rise,
And he that lies late
Will never be wise;
For early to bed,
And early to rise,
Is the way to be healthy
And wealthy and wise.
